apt-get install reaver

Now if everything worked fine you will get a freshly installed Reaver tool. If you are testing it in your own system, please go to WICD Network Manager and Disconnect yourself first!

Step 3 : Gather Information

Before launching the Reaver attack, you need to know your target wireless network name or BSSID. This is the series of unique letters and number of a particular router, and you will need its channel number too. To find this, make your wireless card go into monitor mode, and gather the required information from the access points. Let’s go.

First lets find your wireless card. Inside terminal or console, type:

airmon-ng

Press Enter and you should see a list of interface names of different devices. There should be a wireless device in that list connected to BackTrack. Probably it may be WLAN0 or WLAN1

Note: To connect your wireless network card into WMware, firstly, connect it to the USB. You will see a small USB icon that looks like the figure in the top right of VMware. Right-click on the icon and click connect. The USB sign will turn green and start to glow
